ADvendio Version 2.163 - Winter 2022

We are constantly improving ADvendio software for you. To make sure you don’t miss any of the latest improvements and know what you have to do to make these features available for your whole team, we have created this page. Check the release notes regularly if you like to implement new features and keep your system up to date. ADvendio is releasing a new version every month and a major release every quarter.

Remember: you can sort the columns by clicking on the icon next to the table headers. 

If you are a Google customer, please be aware that due to the update you are required to refresh your OAuth Tokens for all Google AdManager, Google Display & Video 360 and Google Campaign Manager connections, else they will not work after installing 2.158.

If you are upgrading your instance to version 2.163.4 and higher (2.163.x) you will need to follow the steps in this article to ensure that the ADvendio license check can still be performed. Due to a change in our license module this step is required for each production instance to ensure the successful use of ADvendio.
